Gene if the guy installed clip on weights there are about 4-6 different ones for the rims. If on correctly the clip should be tight against the rim and if there is a small lip on the rim, the weight should pressing against the edge of this. Any thing else is not installed correctly. If you can move the wieght with your fingers, an air gap between the rim and clip, or if the wieght is not coated on Alum rims where is going to be a problem. Truck weights fit on rims but do alot of damage to the lip from the high strenght clip. Glue on weights are the best for pin drives. There must be no wax,
oil, tire dressing, or dirt on the rim surface inside and out. I use brakekleen if the rim is not clearcoated. Some brakekleen WILL breakdown the clearcoat and it will peel away from the rim. This will cause pitting and oxyidation of the Aluminium. Try and have the weights installed close to the edges. I use good duct tape with about a 3" over lay of the weight. Use 2 to 3 strips depending on the weight of the weight. Depanding on the balancing, you can go static and just mount one set of weights on the inside of the rim. This is ok for street driven cars and speeds under 70 mph. Dynamic or high speed balance is needed for racing or high speed driving. When having the tires and rims done have the guy check for out of round on the tire and rim. This a is a major cause of a high speed vibration. Rick L. You are paying for a high speed balance, make sure the guy is doing his job.
I have seen new tires wobble on a rim and need replacement.
